Our editorial take on the amaran 150c RGB LED Monolight (Gray)

The Aputure amaran 150c RGB LED Monolight is designed as a versatile lighting solution, offering full RGB color modes in addition to standard daylight and tungsten simulations. Its continuous dimming capability and app control via Bluetooth provide flexibility for various production needs. At 11,196 lumens (at 5600K), it delivers a notable output, positioning it for users requiring a balance of color control and brightness.

While offering comprehensive color accuracy ratings like CRI 95, TLCI 95, and CQS 97, the monlight's reliance on Bowens S-mount for front accessories and an included AC adapter for power underscores its professional utility. The option for battery power, though requiring a separately sourced 48VDC battery, adds an element of portability for location shoots. Its fan-based cooling system is common for fixtures of this output class.

Professionals seeking a color-capable COB light with app-based control and good photometric performance should consider the 150c. Its inclusion of an accessory mount and a robust wireless range for control suggests a focus on practical use cases in studio and on location.

Best for: This light is best for videographers and photographers who need a versatile, color-accurate COB light with remote control capabilities.
